József Barsi was a Hungarian who was known as the father of child actress Judith Barsi, and the husband of her mother, Maria Eva Barsi, both of whom were his victims. On July 25, 1988, József shot Judith in the head out of jealousy, and then killed his own wife when she came to see what was going on. Then, just to get away with it and to make it look like it wasn't from homicide, he doused his wife and daughter in gas and burned the house before going to the garage and killing himself on the very same day.
